Rinse well with clean water and mop, sponge or wet vacuum to remove the remaining solution.

– A hard surface extraction wand and portable or truck mounted extraction machine may be used.

Repeat the rinsing and wet vacuum process to insure that all dirt, soil and cleaner residue have been removed. Thoroughly rinse all metal surfaces.

Natural stone surfaces must be sealed to prevent or minimize staining. Leaving natural stone untreated may greatly hinder the complete removal of stains in the future. The following suggestions are for impregnating the stone and will allow the stone to breathe. Allow new installations to cure for 72 hours prior to applying sealer.

For a natural looking protector on interior and exterior surfaces (heavy duty protection, water and oil repellency):

Option 1: Heavy duty protection, water-based formula:

Sweep or vacuum all dust, dirt and debris.

Mask off and protect any baseboards or adjacent areas to avoid splashing and overspray onto surfaces not intended to be treated.

Insure that surface is clean and residue-free.

StoneTech Professional™ Heavy Duty Stone Sealer may be applied to damp surfaces one hour after standing water has been removed.

Liberally apply an even coat of sealer using a low-pressure chemical-resistant sprayer, roller or brush.

Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 20-30 minutes. During this time, distribute excess over entire area to insure even penetration. Wipe off any remaining sealer prior to drying on the surface.

A second coat may be needed for porous, absorbent surfaces and should be applied 30-40 minutes after initial application as directed in steps 5-6.

A minimum of 30 minutes after final application, wipe entire surface with a towel dampened with sealer to remove any residue and excess sealer, if needed.

A full cure is achieved after 24-72 hours; foot traffic may begin in 6-8 hours. Cover with red rosin paper, if foot traffic must resume before the recommended time periods have passed.

– Expected coverage is 800-1,500 sq. ft. per gallon.

Re-application of Heavy Duty Stone Sealer:

– A 3-5 year re-application is needed for interior surfaces.
– A 1-3 year re-application is needed for exterior surfaces.

Option 2: Heavy duty protection, solvent-based formula:

Sweep or vacuum all dust, dirt and debris.

Mask off and protect any baseboards or adjacent areas to avoid splashing and overspray onto surfaces not intended to be treated.

Insure that surface is clean, dry and residue-free.

Liberally apply an even coat of StoneTech Professional™ Impregnator Pro™ using a low-pressure solvent-resistant sprayer, roller or brush.

Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for 15-30 minutes; denser material may require more time for sealer to penetrate. During this time, distribute excess over entire area to insure even penetration. Wipe off any remaining sealer prior to drying on the surface.

A second coat may be needed for porous, absorbent surfaces and should be applied one hour after initial application as directed in steps 4-5.

If sealer was not completely wiped off and a residue appears, wipe entire surface with a towel dampened with sealer. Use a white, non-abrasive nylon brush or pad to loosen residue and follow with a clean, white absorbent towel to remove.

A full cure is achieved after 24-72 hours; foot traffic may begin in 6-8 hours. Cover with red rosin paper, if foot traffic must resume before the recommended time periods have passed.
– Expected coverage is 800-1,500 sq. ft. per gallon.

Re-application of Impregnator Pro™:

– A 3-5 year re-application is needed for interior surfaces.
– A 1-3 year re-application is needed for exterior surfaces.

StoneTech Professional™ Heavy Duty Exterior Stone and Masonry Sealer is a water repellent specially designed for exterior projects such as facades, cladding, pool decks, parking areas and driveways. It is very resistant to chemicals (i.e.,chlorine) and to the effects of weather (i.e., ultraviolet light/sunlight, driving water/rain).

Sweep or vacuum all dust, dirt and debris.

Mask off and protect any baseboards or adjacent areas to avoid splashing and overspray onto surfaces not intended to be treated.

Insure that the surface is clean, dry and residue-free.

Liberally apply an even coat of Heavy Duty Exterior Stone and Masonry Sealer with a brush, paint roller or solvent-resistant low-pressure sprayer.

Allow sealer to penetrate, about 10-20 minutes.

Wipe off any remaining sealer prior to drying on surface.

Do not walk on surface for at least 4-6 hours. Full cure is achieved in 24-72 hours.

– Expected coverage is 800-1,500 sq. ft. per gallon.

Re-application of Heavy Duty Exterior Stone and Masonry Sealer:

– A 5-10 year re-application is needed for exterior surfaces.

For a color enhancing, impregnating (non-topical) protector on interior and exterior surfaces (heavy duty protection, water and oil repellency):

Sweep or vacuum all dust, dirt and debris.

Mask off and protect any baseboards or adjacent areas to avoid splashing and overspray onto surfaces not intended to be treated.

Insure that surface is clean, dry and residue-free.

Liberally apply an even coat of StoneTech Professional™ Enhancer Pro™ using a low-pressure solvent-resistant sprayer, roller or brush.

Allow to penetrate the surface for 15-30 minutes; denser material may require maximum time for Enhancer Pro™ to penetrate.

– During this time, distribute excess over entire area to insure even penetration.
– Completely wipe surface dry.
– DO NOT ALLOW ENHANCER PRO™ TO DRY COMPLETELY ON SURFACE! Failure to remove enhancer from the surface may result in a film or residue that may need to be mechanically removed.

A second coat is recommended for porous, absorbent surfaces or if a darker appearance is required and should be applied one hour after initial application as directed in steps 4-5.

A full cure is achieved after 24-72 hours; foot traffic may begin in 6-8 hours. Cover with red rosin paper, if foot traffic must resume before the recommended time periods have passed.

– Expected coverage is 800-1,200 sq. ft. per gallon.

Re-application of Enhancer Pro™:

– A 3-5 year re-application is needed for interior or exterior surfaces.

For color enhancement of edges on resin-treated granite:

Polish edge as customary with mechanical processes.

Insure that surface is clean, dry and residue-free.

Liberally apply an even coat of Enhancer Pro™ using a solvent-resistant brush.

Allow to penetrate the surface for 10-30 minutes; denser material may require maximum time for Enhancer Pro™ to penetrate.

– During this time, distribute excess over entire area to insure even penetration.
– Completely wipe surface dry.
– DO NOT ALLOW ENHANCER PRO™ TO DRY COMPLETELY ON SURFACE! Failure to remove enhancer from the surface may result in a film or residue that may need to be mechanically removed.

A second coat is recommended for porous, absorbent surfaces or if a darker appearance is required and should be applied one hour after initial application as directed in steps 3-4.

Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, abrasive cleaners and/or bleach may break down the sealer, adversely affecting repellency and may not be good for the stone. Use a neutral cleaner specially formulated for natural stone.

For routine cleaning with protection:

Sweep or dust mop loose dirt and debris.

Prepare a solution of StoneTech Professional™ Revitalizer™ concentrate mixed with warm or hot water as suggested below:

For routine maintenance cleaning:

Sweep or dust mop loose dirt and debris.

Prepare a solution of StoneTech Professional™ All Purpose Stone and Tile Cleaner concentrate mixed with warm or hot water as suggested below:

– 2 ounces All Purpose Stone and Tile Cleaner in 1 gallon of water.
(Do not mix stronger than 2 ounces to a gallon as a maintenance cleaner. One gallon of concentrate makes 65 gallons of cleaning solution.)

Apply the solution using a sponge, mop or automatic scrubbing machine, then wipe or rinse off.

Or use All Purpose Stone and Tile Cleaner in a ready-to-use sprayer or wipes.
